FLUID-MOTOR.

Patented Sept. 17, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

\ -.4. -Be it known that I, Hun-n W. Krnss, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fluid-Motors,of which the following is a specification.

- -My invention relates; to agduplexinotor and pump each beingself-contained and independently attached 4 upon a common base; wherebyalternate mounting of motor or pump is permissible, likewise permitting.a change of pump-of larger or smaller capacity without disturbing theposition of motor or base, rendering all the parts interchangeable.

Another object of my invention relates to the construction of the motor,pump and base so as to insure perfect alinement of the parts inassembling, all being of universal construction eliminating theadjustments of a particular motor or pump to a particular base.

. Another object of my invention is to provide the motor valves withcup-shaped packings mounted in their ,peculiar manner, forming abalanced valve, :insuring free movement of the valve without any lateralstrains. Another object of my invention relates to the construction ofthepump air chamber, enabling the pipe connection between the pump aiidgovernor to be made in a convenient and readily detachable manner.

Another object of my invention is to construct valve cylinder liningswith ports through which the driving fluid is directed by the movementof the valves.

Various other features of my invention are more fully set forth in thedescription of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which:-

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through one of the I motorcylinders and valves, one pump cylinder and air chamber, and through thegovernor: Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the valve cylinderlinings. 3 is an enlarged central horizontal section through motor valveandcylinders. Fig. 4 is a central horizontal section through motorpistons and their contained cylinders. Fig. 5 is a section on line 2:,:r, Fig. 1.

Fig. 6 is a. top plan view of the motor chests. Fig. 7 is a top planview of the distributing chests located between the valve chests andpiston chests. Fig. 8 is a section on line 14), 10, Fig. 1. Fig. 9 is asection on line y, y, Fig. 1. Fig. 10 is a section on line 2, 2 Fig. 1.

The valve and piston rod connections, and the distributilig chest for sodirecting I he energizing fluid that the right hand piston controls theleft hand valve, and

vice yours, are fully descrihxd in an application filed by me September19th. 1905, Serial No. 279,193. Likewise the governor herein showncontrolling the fluid pressure 'to the motor and in connection with thepump pressure for automatic control thereof, is fully described inPatent No. 813,008, issued to me dated February 20, 1906. The hereinshown combined motor and pump, together with its automatic control areprimarily adapted for household purposes, iifwhich the fluid pressure iswater in connection with the city mains for operating the motor, and thepump is in connection with a cis- 'torn for pumping the cistern waterthrough the house supply pipes. It is therefore desirable that the con-.sttuction be of such character as to be simple, and effective, with butfew working parts and compactly ar-. ranged as the outfit is usually inthe hands of mechanically inexperienced persons.

The device is automatic in its operation, it being at- I rest for aperiod of time and operating when the supply is being used, it istherefore essential that the workings of thedevicebe positive in orderto make the same available. Further the cost of construction must besuch as to make the machine salable.

3, 4, represent upwardly projecting flange supports upon which the motorand pump rest, provided with the openings 5, 6, through which the pipeconnections to the base of the motor and pump pass. These supports3, 4,are identical in dimensions, in the same alinement and project above themarginal rim 7 of the base. This enables a series of bases to befinished in one operation and effecting proper alinement in mountingthemotor and pump. i

This boss projects below thewater line oi'the air chainber of the pump and the bore forms a passagefor the water under pressure to be carried through the pipe 89 to thegovernor 90. Thus as tlrepressurc-irom pipe 89 is exerted against thepiston-91, and when it becomes greater than the pressure oi the water inpassage 92, forming the motor supplyfund tho.combined spring tensionagainst the piston 91, it will close the port 93,

by means of the valve 94 in connection with the piston- 91, seating uponthe seat of the passago 93, and as the pressure against the pistonilll'iwcomcs less than the motor service pressure, the combined actionoi the automatic control of motor .and pump andstorage tank supply -ismaintained 95 represents a connecting rod connected with inotor,
